Georgia Remembers Newnan James C. Clarks

February 4, 1996

James C. Clarks Florida History (Jan. 7) may be correct as far as it goes. But Daniel Newnan did not die forgotten! Although the Alachua County seat named for him disappeared, the county seat of Georgias Coweta County has not. Newnan, Ga., a community of approximately 12,000, was named for Newnan and is one of Georgias most attractive small cities. At one time it was the wealthiest city, per capita, in the United States.
